Abstract
The purpose of this work is the development of a fully monolithic solution algorithm for quasi-static phase-field fracture propagation. Phase-field fracture consists of two coupled partial differential equations, and it is well known that the underlying energy functional is nonconvex and sophisticated algorithms are required. For the incremental, spatially discretized problem, we employ an adaptive error-oriented Newton algorithm which works as an inner loop within an inexact aug-mented Lagrangian iteration. The latter approach relaxes the crack irreversibility constraint, which is an inequality constraint in time. Six numerical tests and benchmarks are consulted to demon-strate the performance of the algorithmic techniques. Specifically, the fully monolithic approach is compared to a quasi-monolithic approach in which the phase-field is approximated through extrap-olation in the displacement equation. These comparisons are done in terms of certain quantities of interest and computational cost. Moreover, features such as crack nucleation, joining, branching, and fracture networks are addressed. Most examples are in two dimensions, but three-dimensional (3D) testing is provided as well. All findings are critically analyzed and point to open questions and future improvements.
